Short Term Rental arbitrage in Orlando, Florida
Anyone successfully executing this strategy in the Orlando market/surrounding areas? My partner and I have found one landlord that will allow us to sublet to our business travelers and Leisure travelers. But many have not. Any success stories/best practices?

In any niche of any business, you’re going to have people who agree and disagree with your strategies. Don’t let either stop you from pursuing what you feel and believe you can do.
With that said, the ones who don’t recommend rental arbitrage are just looking after you from their own personal perspective. There are people very successful in RA and those are the people you should listen to. Take the others advice as well cause it’s for precaution.
I believe we all have a purpose and calling to do what we feel inside we can accomplish. It’s different for everyone.
If you wanna do RA, and you believe you can do it, then you can find a way.
Just don't want you to stop doing what you believe in. RA does work, and it's risky yes, but so is putting 20% down on a home to use it as a STR vs just a few thousand to get in an arbitrage deal. Pros and Cons for both.
Bottom line is, no one is 100% educated in everything. People have different investment advice and angles based on experience. Just pick who you listen to and follow advice from in anything you do.
